Abstract
Abstract An antiseptic skin cream is taught including a base composition comprising a decolorizing agent, a solvent, a solvent humectant, a preservative, an emulsifier and an ointment base to which is added povidone iodine as the active ingredient. Due to the presence of the decolorizing agent, preferably sodium citrate, the resultant composition has a whitish color.
